This tour was the first one we did when we arrived in Montreal. Our tour guide was very convincing and the tour was informative about the hauntings through Old Montreal.

Our tour was one of the best walking tours I have had. Catherine was awesome. Would recommend this for sure. Thanks again Catherine.

This was not a ghost walking tour. It was a Old Montreal History Tour with very little discussions about ghost. We have taken tours like this all over the US and this was not at all what it was supposed to be. Great tour guide but not what the topic says. Should be titled History Tour.

Good 2 hour night tour. The tour person wore a period piece costume.

This was ok. The stories started to repeat themselves and weren't all that different. They all involved love stories.

Our guide Mr. E effectively delivered fun ghost stories and had fun interactions with the group as we moved across Old Montreal. Can see how this wouldn't be for everyone, but it was a great cap to a long day.

This tour was the only huge dispointment on our trip. I had hoped it would provide a fun way to see the city at night and instead it was so awful we left the tour early. Perhaps with a different storyteller it would be interesting. He don't know his name as he never told us it started out by intimidating the young kids- I doubt he had any experience with kids because they looked very uncomfortable anterior that. My kids were older, so he ignored them. The biggest problem was the leader was not interactive except yelling at the youngest child in the group whatsoever. We would walk in front of a building, he would stand there and tell a ghost story in a thick fake accent, and then march off to the next building with all the tour participants clamoring behind. I'm not sure why we bothered to ever leave the ally because he never connected with the group or made us feel connected to Montreal.

Very informative and pleasant tour of the dark history of the centre of Montreal! The guide was fantastic, proper acting!Maybe not recommended for young children as some of the story are very gruesome. Great experience overall!

Awesome and fun tour.

I'm sorry but this walking tour was awful. Our guide who said his name so garbled we didn't even catch it was so over the top he actually made people uncomfortable. A few of his jokes addressed to the young ones in the group were borderline inappropriate.The nuggets of historical information were interesting, but again, the guide dragged out every story, trying to make them more dramatic than the stories deserved. We actually lost track of the story line in our guide's spiel several times, it was so confusing. We thought the dark alley with the projected images was cool, but our guide never tied it in to a story. We hung in there as long as we could, hoping the tour would get better, but we got so bored we dropped out after 60 mins. We would never recommend this tour, based on the experience we had with our guide. In contrast, the daytime Walking Tour of Old Montreal was wonderful. Perhaps the Ghost Walk and Dark Encounters would have been a better ghost walk.

It was just OK. The guide was giving a series of monologues rather than really interacting with us. There wasn't enough tie in to Montreal history... just some so-so stories. We bailed out on the tour after about an hour.

This was a unique and interesting tour to go on. Overall, I would recommend this tour but your experience will solely be based on your tour guide. It was exactly what my family and I had predicted the tour to be like. Tales of hauntings and deaths were told as we walked around Old Montreal in the evening. The tour guides all arrived dressed in spooky outfits which really added to the overall mood of the tour.

This tour was completely worth it. Our guide, Mr E, had a terrific stage presence. It was so much fun to see how well he wove whatever was really happening around us. A truck rumbling by noisily when he was recreating a prayer that saved the first settlers, so he dramatically yelled at them that they were getting in the way of his being saved. It was very easy to see that Mr E was really invested in all the stories and legends he was telling us.He'd obviously done a TON of research about the stories on his own, going around and talked to various owners and neighbors of the places that are haunted. He actually got to go into the cells of the Last Days under the court house once, by approaching a security guard when he arrived at an event unexpectedly early. This gave an extra depth to his descriptions, as they were so vivid coming from him He was so much fun to listen to. _br/_ Mr E was very good at working with the younger people on the tour, giving them a chance to engage on their own level, as well as working and adapting various facts for people who were from either elsewhere in Canada, or the States such as myself. We were all given the feeling that we were being included on an equal level._br/_ At the very end of the tour, after answering any questions we had, Mr E even helped us with directions back to the nearest metro._br/_ I would highly recommend this tour to other people, visitors and locals alike, and my hostess has said that she would like to take more people who she sees to see the tour as well.

I have been on a few ghost walks and this one was just ok. Large amount of walking without commentary or actual info. Guide was very energetic.
Review by: Nancy P, August 2016
Great actors that have you captivated with their stories from the beginning. Rain or shine this tour takes place. We had a really rainy night, which just added to fun. Got to see parts of the city which we had never seen before.
Review by: Kathryn E, August 2016
Great tour and our guide was so much fun as he was dressed in costume.
Review by: Jill B, July 2016
The guide was great but the tour wasn't quite so good. This should be advertised as a late childhood/pre-teen tour. It is very hokey and most adults wouldn't really care for it.

Mr. E was a great tour guide. This is a must do if your going to Montreal!! A lot of walking but worth it!
